The month is halfway over and I am FINALLY getting the Halloween decorations up. Five totes of decorations. I think it might be time to purge a few ghosts and witches. Hubby keeps telling me that the baby bassets are getting to the age where they are going to want to go out and celebrate Halloween with their friends and not with us at home. Well jokes on him, my youngest and his friends planned a month ago to celebrate at our house. Plus, I like celebrating with my friends, so this is for me to. No costume for me though. I had a cute t-shirt with glow in the dark ribs and a cute little skeleton lounging, but turns out that I had bought myself a maternity shirt! My friends have never laughed so hard at me. Okaaay… won’t be wearing that on the 31st.
